  2. Fuel starvation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_starvation

    British Airways Flight 38 crash-landed at London Heathrow in 2008 after its fuel lines became clogged with ice crystals.. In an internal combustion engine, fuel starvation is the failure of the fuel system to supply sufficient fuel to allow the engine to run properly, for example due to blockage, vapor lock, contamination by water, malfunction of the fuel pump or incorrect operation, leading ...

  3. Vapor lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_lock

    Moving the fuel pump to the interior of the tank helps prevent vapor lock since the entire fuel-delivery system is under positive pressure and the fuel pump runs cooler than it would be if it is located in the engine compartment. This is the primary reason that vapor lock is rare in modern fuel systems. For the same reason, some carbureted ...

  4. Flooded engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flooded_engine

    Some fuel injection computers interpret "pumping" the throttle to indicate a flooded engine, and alter the fuel-air mixture accordingly. In a carbureted engine equipped with an accelerator pump (which advances fuel flow to match air ingestion under rapid throttle acceleration), "pumping" the throttle will force excess fuel into the engine ...

  5. Flameout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flameout

    In aviation, a flameout (or flame-out) is the run-down of a jet engine or other turbine engine due to the extinguishment of the flame in its combustor.The loss of flame can have a variety of causes, such as fuel starvation, excessive altitude, compressor stall, foreign object damage deriving from birds, hail, or volcanic ash, severe precipitation, mechanical failure, or very low ambient ...

  6. Dieseling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieseling

    Fuel demand is low at idle and there is more than enough manifold vacuum to draw sufficient fuel for combustion, even if the fuel pump is switched off. Gasoline engines that are much smaller than the typical automotive engine are usually carbureted for economic and engineering reasons. Dieseling can occur in such engines.

  7. Turbine engine failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbine_engine_failure

    A turbine engine failure occurs when a gas turbine engine unexpectedly stops producing power due to a malfunction other than fuel exhaustion. It often applies for aircraft , but other turbine engines can also fail, such as ground-based turbines used in power plants or combined diesel and gas vessels and vehicles.

  8. Combustion instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion_instability

    For a fixed oncoming velocity, decreasing the fuel-oxidizer ratio makes the flame change its shape, and by decreasing it further the flame oscillates or moves intermittently. In practice, these are undesirable conditions. Further decreasing the fuel-oxidizer ratio blows-off the flame. This is clearly an operational failure.
